  16. Packaging (cont.) • What other packaging does Coke Cola use? • WHY?

  17. How technology is used in market testing • Virtual store simulations can be an indispensable tool for understanding in-store behavior and designing stores and merchandising programs that truly meet the needs of consumers. • Use of computer-driven store simulation technologies to conduct market research and achieve other key business objectives is fast becoming a common practice among consumer product manufacturers and retailers

  18.
